3. CShapes Dataset and Utilities- This package provides a link between R and CShapes, a GIS dataset of country boundaries (1946-2008). The package includes functions for data extraction and the computation of weights matrices.

4. Quasi-likelihood parameter estimation- The package provides methods for parameter estimation for statistical models that can be simulated. We follow a quasi-likelihood approach to estimate the unknown parameter by the root of the so-called quasi-score estimating function.

6. refnet - Bibliometric Tools for R- This package and its tools are currently designed to read, analyze and visualize Thomson-Reuters Web of Knowledge/Science, ISI and SCOPUS format reference data files. Social network analyses, geocoding of addresses and spatial visualization are supported.

7. Spatial Exploratory Data Analysis- GeoXp is a package already available on CRAN.
We are trying to modify the structure of this package by using the S4 classes used in sp package.
We are also interested by modifying the interface of GeoXp, using some Rtkplot or similar tools...

9. Guerry: maps, data and methods- This project comprises maps of France in 1830, data from A.-M. Guerry and other and statistical and graphic methods related to Guerry's &quot;Moral Statistics of France&quot;.

15. RMacoqui- RMacoqui develops a probability procedure for the identification of chorotypes, i.e. distribution patterns shared by a group of species, which can be operatively identified within an area (Baroni-Urbani et al., 1978).

19. HistData: Historical data sets- The HistData package provides a collection of data sets
that are interesting and important in the history of statistics and data visualization.
The goal of the package is to make these available, both for instructional use
and for historical research.
